particular SWT widget in a plug-in's user interface.&nbsp; It displays
context-sensitive help and links to related help topics for the widget.&nbsp; It
is activated when the user puts focus on the widget and presses the F1 key.
</p><p>To associate an infopop with a widget, you must first assign a context ID
to the widget and then provide the description and links for the infopop.&nbsp;
